Poetry study feeds the mind, it gets you thinking. If you read all kinds of poems (and we all know we have access to so many poems.), you will come across those that really make you think. Oftentimes, good poetry is not cut and dry. Just like a good story, poems don’t just tell you what happening, it paints a picture with words for the reader to decipher. It makes you visualize and infer what is going on as you read.
